Hello everyone, my name is Paige Safyer and I'm a Junior at Bryn Mawr. I am a psychology major with a concentration in neural and behavioral sciences so I have some knowledge of neuroscience. I took Biology 103 with Professor Grobstein last semester, which was really interesting because it taught me a new way to think about biology and science in general. I am excited to see how this class compares to that one, and how they complement eachother. For my book review in Biology 103 I read a book called "Wider Than the Sky: The Phenomenal Gift of Consciousness" which focused a lot on neuroscience. I would definitely recommend that book to everyone in this class, and I hope we discuss the topic of consciousness in class. I also now know, thanks to Thursday's class, that the title of the book comes from the Emily Dickenson poem that we spent time discussing.
